Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to electronic packaging. More particularly, the present invention relates to a multi-component electronic package.
- electronic devices such as cellular telephones employed a variety of electronic components.
- these electronic components included active chip components as well as passive chip components.
- An active chip component such as an integrated circuit was capable of performing an action such as execution of an instruction.
- a passive chip component such as a resistor, capacitor, or inductor possessed a specific electrical characteristic yet was incapable of performing an action.
- the passive chip components were not readily integratable into the active chip components. To illustrate, it was not economical to form all required resistors, capacitors, or inductors in an integrated circuit chip. For this reason, the active chip component was packaged into a package, hereinafter referred to as an IC package. The IC package and the passive chip components were then attached to the printed circuit mother board separate from one another.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a multi-component package 10 in accordance with the prior art.
- package 10 included a laminate substrate 12 having an upper surface 12 U and a lower surface 12 L.
- Formed on upper surface 12 U were a plurality of traces 14 and a die attach metallization 16 .
- Formed on corresponding traces 14 were contacts 18 .
- An upper solder mask 20 covered upper surface 12 U of substrate 12 and traces 14 yet left contacts 18 and die attach metallization 16 exposed.
- a lower surface 22 L of an active chip component 22 e.g., an integrated circuit, was attached to upper surface 12 U, and, more particularly, to die attach metallization 16 , by adhesive 24 .
- Bond pads 26 on an upper surface 22 U of active chip component 22 were electrically connected to correspond contacts 18 by corresponding bond wires 28 .
- Terminals 30 of a passive chip component 32 were electrically connected to corresponding contacts 18 by solder joints 34 .
- solder joints 34 also served to mount passive chip component 32 to substrate 12 .
- Active chip component 22 and passive chip component 32 were over molded in a layer of encapsulant 36 .
- Layer of encapsulant 36 served to protect the electrical connections of package 10 as well as to protect package 10 from the ambient environment, e.g., moisture.
- Traces 14 were electrically connected to corresponding traces 38 on lower surface 12 L of substrate 12 by electrically conductive vias 40 .
- Contacts 42 were formed on corresponding traces 38 .
- a lower solder mask 44 covered lower surface 12 L of substrate 12 and traces 38 yet left contacts 42 exposed.
- solder balls 46 Formed on contacts 42 were corresponding solder balls 46 . As is well known to those of skill in the art, solder balls 46 were reflowed to attach and electrically connect package 10 to the printed circuit mother board. Solder joints 34 were formed of a solder having a higher melting temperature than that of solder balls 46 thus avoiding melting of solder joints 34 during reflow of solder balls 46 . Solder balls 46 were arranged in an array format to form a ball grid array (BGA) package. Alternatively, a land grid array (LGA) or leadless chip carrier (LCC) package was formed.
- BGA ball grid array
- LGA land grid array
- LCC leadless chip carrier
- passive chip component 32 By integrating passive chip component 32 with active chip component 22 into a single package 10 , several advantages were realized as compared to attaching passive chip component 32 and active chip component 22 separately to the printed circuit mother board.
- One advantage was that less labor was required during component attachment to the printed circuit mother board. As a result, the cost of the electronic device employing package 10 was reduced.
- Another advantage was a reduction in final functional device size.
- package 10 when compared to a standard IC package containing only a single active chip component, package 10 was considerably larger, had reduced electrical performance and was significantly more expensive.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of an array 50 of packages during fabrication in accordance with the prior art.
- Array 50 included a substrate 52 .
- Substrate 52 included a plurality of individual substrates 12 integrally connected together.
- Substrate 52 was fabricated using well-known techniques.
- Passive chip components 32 were then attached to each individual substrate 12 .
- a first passive chip component 32 A of the plurality of passive chip components 32 was attached to a first substrate 12 A of the plurality of substrates 12 .
- solder paste was screened onto the appropriate contacts 18 on substrate 12 A in a well-known manner.
- the solder paste included both solder and solder flux.
- Passive chip component 32 A was positioned such that terminals 30 were aligned with and in contact with the screened solder paste.
- the screened solder paste was reflowed (melted) to mount passive chip component 32 A to substrate 12 A.
- the other passive chip components 32 were mounted to corresponding substrates 12 in a similar manner.
- solder joints 34 were used to mount passive chip components 32 to corresponding substrates 12 , a sufficient amount of solder paste had to be used to insure that solder joints 34 reliably mounted passive chip components 32 .
- solder flux of the solder paste was an aggressive, i.e., ionically active, solder flux.
- solder paste contained a relatively large volume of aggressive solder flux.
- solder flux residue 52 was left as a contaminant around solder joints 34 and on solder mask 20 .
- Solder flux residue 52 was removed, e.g., using an aqueous cleaner.

- the die attach adhesive which attached the active chip component to the substrate, had a tendency to absorb moisture.
- this absorbed moisture had a tendency to expand due to heating.
- the active chip component was often damaged or destroyed resulting in failure of the package.
- the package in accordance with the present invention is formed without a die attach adhesive. Accordingly, the popcorn effect associated with conventional die attach adhesives is eliminated. As a result, the reliability of the package is greater than that of a package of the prior art.

- a pick and place machine moves package 500 by attaching to smooth exposed upper surface 536 E during back-end processing, e.g., during attachment of package 500 to the printed circuit mother board.
- package 500 is readily marked on smooth exposed upper surface 536 E, e.g., by laser or ink, to identify the part number associated with package 500 .
- package 500 includes both active chip component 522 and passive chip component 532 . Integrating both active chip component 522 and passive chip component 532 into package 500 reduces labor during component attachment to the printed circuit mother board and also reduces the final functional device size. Further, by testing package 500 for validity, i.e., to determine whether package 500 is defective or not, prior to attachment to the printed circuit mother board, testing at the printed circuit mother board assembly stage is reduced. As a result, reworking of the print circuit mother board is minimized.
- active chip component 522 by mounting active chip component 522 as a flip chip, the area on upper surface 512 U of substrate 512 occupied by active chip component 522 is reduced compared to the area occupied by a conventional wirebonded active chip component. More particularly, contacts 519 are aligned directly with corresponding bond pads 526 . Accordingly, contacts 519 are formed within an area of upper surface 512 U approximately equal to the area of lower surface 522 L of active chip component 522 .
- the contacts were fanned out around the perimeter of the active chip component in the prior art (see active chip component 22 and contacts 18 in FIG. 1, for example). Accordingly, the contacts necessarily occupied an area on the upper surface of the substrate which was greater than the area of the active chip component.
- package 500 in accordance with the present invention is formed to have a minimum size, package 500 is well suited for use with smaller, lighter weight and less expensive electronic devices.
- wirebonded active chip components of the prior art had an increased tendency to fail due to the so called “popcorn effect”.
- the die attach adhesive see adhesive 24 of FIG. 1, for example
- the active chip component had a tendency to absorb moisture.
- this absorbed moisture had a tendency to expand due to heating.
- the active chip component was often damaged or destroyed resulting in failure of the package.
- package 500 is formed without a die attach adhesive. Accordingly, the popcorn effect associated with conventional die attach adhesives is eliminated. As a result, the reliability of package 500 is greater than a package of the prior art.
- package 500 is formed simultaneously with a plurality of packages 500 .

- Substrate 610 includes a plurality of individual substrates 512 integrally connected together in an array format, e.g., in a 2 ⁇ 2, 3 ⁇ 3, or 4 ⁇ 4 format, although other array formats are used in other embodiments.
- Each of substrates 512 is delineated by a singulation street 612 , which is located between adjacent substrates 512 .
- a first singulation street 612 A of the plurality of singulation streets 612 delineates a first substrate 512 A of the plurality of substrates 512 from a second substrate 512 B of the plurality of substrates 512 .
- the other substrates 512 are similarly delineated from adjacent substrates 512 by corresponding singulation streets 612 .
- Substrates 512 include traces 514 , 515 on upper surfaces 512 U of substrates 512 and traces 538 , 539 on lower surfaces 512 L of substrates 512 .
- Traces 514 , 515 are electrically connected to corresponding traces 538 , 539 by corresponding electrically conductive vias 540 , 541 , respectively, extending through substrates 512 .
- Contacts 518 , 519 , 542 , 543 are formed on corresponding traces 514 , 515 , 538 , 539 , respectively.

- traces 514 , 515 , 538 , 539 are formed by depositing and patterning an electrically conductive layer or, alternatively, by selectively depositing an electrically conductive layer.
- contacts 518 , 519 , 542 , 543 are formed by plating an electrically conductive material on traces 514 , 515 , 538 , 539 , respectively.
- vias 540 , 541 are formed by drilling holes through substrates 512 and filling the holes with an electrically conductive material.
- Solder masks 520 , 544 are formed on an upper, e.g., first, surface 610 U and on a lower, e.g., second, surface 610 L, respectively, of substrate 610 using any one of a number of conventional techniques. For example, a photo resist is spin-coated on upper surface 610 U and lower surface 610 L and cured to form solder masks 520 , 544 .
- Solder masks 520 , 544 are patterned around contacts 518 , 519 and contacts 542 , 543 using a conventional photo-imaging technique in which the spin-coated photo resist is selectively exposed to radiation to selectively cure the photo resist. Depending upon the type of photo resist, e.g., negative or positive, the exposed or unexposed photo resist is removed. Contacts 518 , 519 , 542 , 543 are formed before, or, alternatively, after solder masks 520 , 544 are formed. Alternatively, contacts 518 , 519 , 542 , 543 and/or solder masks 520 , 544 are not formed.
- pitch refers to the center to center spacing between adjacent traces 514 , 515 , 538 , 539 .

- solder paste is applied, e.g., screened, onto contacts 518 on substrate 512 A using any one of a number of conventional techniques.
- the solder paste includes a solder and a solder flux. Since the solder paste forms solder joints 534 , which form the mounting for passive chip component 532 A, a substantial amount of solder paste is used. For the same reason, the solder flux of the solder paste is an aggressive, i.e., ionically active, solder flux.
- solder paste For example, a high melting temperature lead free solder such as Indalloy # 121 (Sn-96.5%/Ag-3.5%) in a WMA-SMQ65 water-soluble based flux available from Indium Corporation of America is used as the solder paste.
- Passive chip component 532 A is positioned such that terminals 530 are aligned with, and in contact with, the solder paste.
- passive chip component 532 A is aligned using a pick and place machine in a conventional manner.
- Array 600 is then heated to melt the solder paste to form solder joints 534 as shown in FIG. 7 .
- array 600 is heated to 235° C. with a tolerance of +5° C. to ⁇ 0° C. for 15 to 30 seconds.

- active chip components 522 are attached to corresponding substrates 512 .
- a first active chip component 522 A of the plurality of active chip components 522 is attached to substrate 512 A.
- solder bumps 802 are formed on bond pads 526 of active chip component 522 A.
- Solder flux 804 is applied to solder bumps 802 , e.g., using a doctor blade application, as is well known to those of skill in the art. Of importance, solder flux 804 is only applied to solder bumps 802 , i.e., is not applied to lower surface 522 U of active chip component 522 A.
- the solder flux is NC-SMQ71TAC solder flux available from Indium Corporation of America.
- a pick and place machine 806 positions active chip component 522 A such that solder bumps 802 are aligned with, and in contact with, corresponding contacts 519 .
- FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of array 600 of FIG. 8 at a further stage during fabrication in accordance with this embodiment of the present invention.
- array 600 is then heated to melt solder bumps 802 to form flip chip bumps 548 as shown in FIG. 9 .
- array 600 is heated to 220° C. with a tolerance of +5° C. to ⁇ 0° C. for 15 to 30 seconds.
- the other active chip components 522 are attached to the other corresponding substrates 512 in a similar manner.
- solder bumps 802 are formed of a solder having a lower melting temperature than the solder of solder joints 534 .
- the melting temperature of the solder of solder bumps 802 is approximately 183° C. while the melting temperature of the solder of solder joints 534 is approximately 220° C.
- array 600 is heated to a temperature greater than the melting temperature of solder bumps 802 yet less than the melting temperature of solder joints 534 . In this manner, solder bumps 802 are selectively melted and reflowed.
- array 600 is heated to a temperature greater than the melting temperature of solder joints 534 to reflow bumps 802 .
- the thermal impedance of solder joints 534 prevents solder joints 534 from melting. For example, heating array 600 to 220° C. for 15 to 30 seconds selectively melts solder bumps 802 and not solder joints 534 .
- active chip components 522 are sequentially placed on corresponding substrates 512 , and array 600 is heated to reflow all of solder bumps 802 simultaneously.
- array 600 is heated to reflow all of solder bumps 802 simultaneously.
- package 500 in accordance with the present invention is fabricated at a substantially lower cost than package 10 (FIG. 1) in accordance with the prior art.
- flip chip bumps 548 form the electrical interconnections between bond pads 526 and contacts 519 .
- flip chip bumps 548 have minimal volume and are not primarily responsible for mounting active chip component 522 A to substrate 512 A. Consequently, less solder flux 804 is required to reflow solder bumps 802 . Accordingly, flip chip bumps 548 are formed using only a minimal amount of solder flux.
- non-aggressive, i.e., ionically inactive, or medium aggressive solder flux is used.
- non-aggressive or medium aggressive solder flux generates substantially less solder flux residue than an aggressive solder flux.
- essentially no solder flux residue exists after reflow of solder bumps 802 and formation of flip chip bumps 548 .
- solder flux residue Since there is no solder flux residue, there is no requirement to remove residue after reflow of solder bumps 802 and formation of flip chip bumps 548 . Although it is set forth above that there is no solder flux residue generated, in light of this disclosure, those of skill in the art will understand that a minimal amount of solder flux residue may be generated. However, this minimal amount of solder flux residue is inconsequential, e.g., does not affect subsequent processing such as the application of an underfill material.
- passive chip components 532 are first soldered to substrates 512 using a residue generating soldering process, i.e., are surface mounted, followed by soldering of active chip components 522 using a minimal residue generating soldering process, i.e., are flip chip mounted.
- soldering active chip components 522 using a residue free soldering process (1) stud bumps; (2) electrically conductive epoxy paste; or (3) electrically conductive epoxy film, are used, as those of skill in the art will understand.
- a standard underfill material is applied, e.g., from a needle dispenser, around active chip components 522 .
- capillary force between active chip components 522 and corresponding substrates 512 draws the underfill material between active chip components 522 and substrates 512 and around flip chip bumps 548 .

- underfill materials 550 insure the reliability of flip chip bumps 548 and, more particularly, reduce or eliminate the possibility of failure of flip chip bumps 548 .
- underfill materials 550 reduce stress on flip chip bumps 548 generated as a result of differential thermal expansion between active chip components 522 and corresponding substrates 512 .

- array 600 is placed in a mold and plastic encapsulant is transfer molded to form layer of encapsulant 536 .
- dimension A 1 is 0.48 mm and dimension A 2 is 1.1 mm, although other dimensions are used in other embodiments.
- Array 600 is then singulated by cutting along singulation streets 612 resulting in a plurality of packages 500 (FIG. 5 ).
- array 600 is inverted from the view of FIG. 9 and placed on a tape, which supports array 600 during singulation, as those of skill in the art will understand.
